This Former TLC Toddlers And Tiaras Star Just Proved She Has Beauty And Brains

Eden Wood's life has always been fast-paced and full of changes. As a young girl, she was homeschooled by her mother, who spent 25 years as an educator, and she was then tutored on set in Los Angeles when she was busy filming. Wood and her family have always kept her education at the forefront of her life. Despite her switch from homeschooling to regular school, she managed to maintain her 4.0 GPA. In a 2020 interview with Where It Begins, Wood said she considers that challenging but successful switch her greatest accomplishment to date.

Now, she may be thinking differently, as she was recently named valedictorian of her graduating class. For her college years, she plans to return home to a school in Arkansas, and study broadcast journalism. Speaking to Today, Eden said, "I want to do something that I love. I don't want to be stuck doing a job that's boring. I've been in front of a camera my whole life, so this feels like the perfect fit." Fans are excited to watch her journey unfold.
